Weirdest Halloween

This is the weirdest night I’ve ever seen.
Said the crow, not realizing it is Halloween.
The jack-o-lantern said he felt it too.
Inside him was a big dragon concocting on “brew”.

The dragon popped his head out and gave them a fright.
It was getting to be a strange, curious, bat-loving night.
Dracula came by to get in on the October action.
Being the center of attention always gives him satisfaction.

But alas, the dragon was the “talk of the day”.
The graveyard was buzzing with rumors every which way.
This dragon is dangerous; he was transformed by a witch.
Greenie got excited and waved a feathery switch.

Abracadabra and Hocus Pocus and Such!
These graveyard jack-o-lanterns are almost too much!
Reporters came and everyone pushed Dracula aside.
He was so mad now, his feelings we could barely abide.

The dragon gave a show, a whistle and a shout.
The newspaper reporters were thrilled without a doubt.
Dracula slunk away, irritated and angry as could be.
The weirdest Halloween I’ve ever had on a dragon’s knee.

So fun Caren written by the master of whimsy and fantasy. What better things for Halloween? This, in many ways, reminds me of the song "Monster Mash" -definitely a Halloween favorite for me. Thanks for the Halloween party fun! Blessings! Getting my costume ready!
